"You bastards..." Cao Youxin tried to get up but was unable to do so. He raised his hand high, pointed at the farmers and shook his head. Under Xie Miaoxuan's pressing pressure, he swallowed back the words of bastards on his lips and said, "My son Innocent, he is literate and will be a high official in the future, if you have any questions, come at me."
As long as the incense of his son remains alive, he, Cao Youxin, will have successors.
Xie Miaoxuan sneered, "Tou Cao Zhuang, what kind of idiotic talk are you talking about?" When he was about to die, he still thought that his son would become a high official, but his old wife didn't think about him in the slightest.
This is vicious and inexplicably ridiculous.
Looking at so many farmers who have suffered so much, and listening to their endless explanations of Cao Youxin's evil deeds as the head of the village for nearly twenty years, Xie Miaoxuan has some kind of fire rising faintly in his heart, and something slowly extinguishing.
The voice of Cao Youxin's dying struggle was quickly drowned out by the crowd.
When everyone was about to talk, an old farmer pushed through the crowd and walked towards Xie Miaoxuan, "Girl, can you allow me to ask Cao Youxin a few words?"
Xie Miaoxuan nodded, "Please."
The old farmer wanted to squat down and look straight at Cao Youxin. His legs and feet were stiff and it took him a long time to bend an arc. He seemed to be about to fall down tremblingly. Xie Miaoxuan stepped forward to support him and used his strength to make him squat down.
The old villager stared at Cao Youxin's eyes, looking at him with his turbid eyes, calling him by his nickname, "Goudan, do you still remember why everyone elected you to be the village leader in the first place?
"You took advantage of the good reputation left by your father. He was sincere and trustworthy. After his death, we all recommended you to be the head of the village because we believed in your father. You were only nineteen years old at that time. I promised that I would not betray everyone's trust, that I would lead us to take care of the land, and share the joys and sorrows with us. I'm afraid you have forgotten it. Do you still remember your father's instructions to you before he died? But after so many years, What did you do again?"
Cao Youxin was stunned. At this moment, his thoughts were pulled back to the past. Everything flashed in his mind when his father was still alive. The hands he held tightly before his death, earnestly telling him to be a good person.
Once upon a time, he was also a complacent person who dreamed of being a man with hidden ravages in his heart.
When did he change?
He began to treat kindness and justice as shit under his feet.
The sternness on Cao Youxin's face froze at this moment, looking at the old man's old face in front of him, this is his third uncle, hahaha, this is his third uncle, the one who would leave a portion of the delicious food at home for him when he was a child. Third uncle.
However, his eyes flashed viciously, and he sold all the disobedient members of his third uncle's family to serve as laborers. Now he is the only one left alive, a lonely old man.
At this time, he was actually willing to speak kind words for him? !
"Third uncle, third uncle, I was wrong, I was really wrong. When I was a kid, didn't you always tell me that knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements? Please beg the girl to spare me this time. I promise, next time... No! I will never do these bastard things again."
Cao De patted his shoulder with his hand full of age spots and wiped away his tears, "It's too late, Goudan. You have done too many wrong things and killed too many lives. If you just rely on your words to change your ways, you will be able to change your ways." You can be pardoned, but what will you do to those people who were killed by you in vain?!"
Xie Miaoxuan supported him and stood up tremblingly. Cao De had lived for so many years, how could he not see that Cao Youxin admitted his mistakes so readily just to beg for mercy? He held Xie Miaoxuan's hand tightly and said, "Girl, you have Be benevolent, the old man has the courage to ask for a favor, please give him a happy one."
Xie Miaoxuan nodded and agreed to his request.
Cao Youxin had gradually stopped crying, and was filled with hatred that the old man was still trying to drag him with his legs half buried in the soil.
"Third uncle! If you don't plead for me, you are still thinking about letting me die! Now only my lineage is left in the Cao family. You have to watch the Cao family die. How can you be worthy of your ancestors?" Zong!"
"Since you don't want to plead for me, why are you pretending to be so hypocritical?"
Cao De sighed and watched Cao Youxin shake his head and stagger away from here.
There are only two fathers in his generation, he and Cao Youxin. His son and grandson are dead, Cao Jian is stupid and vicious, and now Cao Youxin is going to die too.
Unfortunate family background.
But all this is what Cao Youxin should have suffered a long time ago. The old man can live to this day because he is holding his breath and wants to see his fate with his own eyes, and the way of heaven is restored.
When Cao Youxin saw Cao De walking away like this, his expression suddenly became distorted. Xie Miaoxuan took in all of this. She blocked his angry sight and took back her words.
"Cao Youxin, not only are you going to die today, but your wife and son are going to die too. Don't say they are innocent. They are the ones who have benefited from your evil consequences over the past few decades. They eat and drink with people's fat and oil, so why should you call them innocent? ?You yourself are wearing five taels of silver satin, while your son is wearing one tael of gold satin. The inkstone used in the study is really better than that of the county government master, and there are countless lives on his hands. Yan'er is just alive. An example. Even now, you are still bragging about being innocent!"
"Now that the public is outraged, I don't want to waste time with you. The evidence of your crime is conclusive and you should die." She threw the dagger at his feet. "Kill yourself. As for your wife and children, I will also keep their bodies intact."
Cao Youxin was shocked. He thought it would be a whipping at most, but he never thought that Xie Miaoxuan actually wanted to kill him. Then he thought about how Xie Miaoxuan neatly wiped the wild dog's neck just now, and felt that her request now was in line with her style.
But he doesn't want to die.
He suddenly thought of something, and as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he shouted, "I am a good citizen, and I am a registered citizen. You can't treat me as a domestic slave and kill me at will. I have violated the family rules. According to the family rules, girls can only Send me to court, otherwise it will offend the criminal law, and my nephew is the county administrator!"
The chief clerk is his nephew. As long as he takes his wife and leaves here today, there will be no more oppression. Soon after arriving at the county government office, the whole family will be free.
Resentment heated up in his heart. He left, but the manor could never be moved. So... as long as the water source was poisoned, Xie Miaoxuan's life would be taken without anyone noticing.
Also take the lives of these untouchables!
There were old villagers in the crowd who knew that Cao Youxin's nephew was the chief clerk of the county government, and wanted to remind Xie Miaoxuan that if Cao Youxin went to the county government, officials would protect him and he would not be punished.
Xie Miaoxuan noticed it and shook her head slightly in that direction.
Today's population, except for domestic servants and slaves, has a low status, and only those who have received the grace of their masters or have good ancestors have a yellow status. The yellow status means that the person is free. If something unexpected happens, the government will pursue it.
It is not appropriate to confront the government before troubled times arise.
But she had no intention of giving him a way to survive.
Today, Cao Youxin must die!
The corner of his mouth curled up in a cold arc, "If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot that your status as a good citizen was obtained through the grace of my father. Everyone knows how to be grateful. You are ungrateful and a real villain. , since you don’t want to die happily..."
Xie Miaoxuan's expression was unclear, and suddenly he smiled again. Cao Youyou felt confident, waiting for her to continue.
